Web Design

Web Design and Development Columbus, Ohio

The web today is what the phone book was 20 years ago; if you need to be found, you need a website.

Websites create the first impression for many potential customers. Whether for e-commerce or just to ‘hang out your shingle‘ with your hours, address and phone number, having a website that is professional and functional is a powerful marketing tool for most businesses. We emphasize functionality, usability and quality with specialties in the following:

Website Design Price

A minimal website (a handful of pages), takes 20 to 30 hours and therefore costs between $2000 and $3000. However, this is only applicable to a ‘brochure-type’ website, and does not include content (photography, logo design, written content); very few of our clients fall into this category as we focus on clients that will actively use the web to create sales and leads.

Without doubt, there are cheaper web design services in Columbus, much less the rest of the world; the difference is that we do it right. We don’t outsource and we are transparent about template and CMS options.

We build sites that build businesses.

Only about 1/3 of the time we spend on a site goes into design and the ‘look’ of a site. The rest goes into planning, structure, research, accessibility and SEO features (among other things).

In other words:

We strive to build sites that work for any user, on any device.

Mobile-friendly Websites

Mobile devices, like smartphones and tablet, now vastly outnumber traditional computers. Beyond that mobile web users are more goal-oriented, often searching for something specific. Mobile-friendly websites give you a competitive edge when it comes to reputation, converting mobile users, and seo

Content Management

WordPress & Adobe Business Catalyst

A cms allows you to easily manage your online business. Blogs, products, inventory, payments, invoices, email marketing, customer data and more. They provide a cost-effective, easy-to-use way for owners to improve, update, and expand their websites.

Payment Gateways and Shopping Carts

We are an Authorize.net devloper and have experience implementing payments, subscriptions (automated recurring payments), and shopping carts to suit any need. We are also experienced with Stripe, PayPal and Google Wallet (Checkout).

Not ready for a re-design?

We can usually make some changes to your existing site to help make it more mobile friendly without starting from scratch, ask about it!

We use html5 and css3 because it facilitates code that is concise and fast. We are passionate about best practices including semantics and validation. Some features of these developing standards are not supported by old browsers.

Many of the frameworks and templates we build upon offer fallbacks and workarounds that support antiquated browsers but we do not test on them nor specifically support them. This reduces our development time, speeds page load times and saves our clients money.

This approach negatively effects less than 20% of users while positively effecting the rest.
